Well, yes, mostly because it's not up to date. But I agree - since it's a common problem for new users - that a warning saying that moving/renaming files outside of darktable will break the database could be useful. I suggest the following: """ How do I move/rename/... files on my hard disk? Since version 1.1 Darktable supports copying/moving/renaming files. In case you prefer using your file manager or command line, be aware that you should first remove the files from the database, then rename them (including the .xmp files) and finally reimport them in Darktable.
